In Partnership With Parents

We are a Community Interest Company who pride ourselves on our delivery of high quality childcare and educational provision. Established in August 2006 by the late Ms Barbara Wilkin, Head Teacher of the Outstanding Horden Nursery School, the doors officially opened in our first purpose built nursery located within Horden Children’s Centre.

High Quality Progressive Childcare

As the years have gone by we have grown tremendously, continuing to develop and expand our expertise by opening additional nurseries throughout the County Durham area. Such success could not have unfolded if it wasn’t for the hard work and dedication of all our employees and not forgetting the fantastic support we receive from our parents.

Learning is at the heart of what we do at Giant Steps, through our child-centred approach and passion for early years we strive to ensure that each and every child is provided with the best possible start in life.

Giant Steps Nursery - Kind words from parents

To everyone at Giant steps I don’t have the words to say how grateful I am to all of you who have cared for Lorie. Bringing her here at 11months and I had no idea who she would grow to be. You have nurtured, cared, taught and laughed with her to make her a confident, bright, independent little girl. I know Lorie has her “development areas” J but you have shown nothing but patience, understanding and love for her. She talks about you all constantly and I worry how much she will miss you. But you couldn’t of prepared her better for the big wide world !!. I hope you all have happy memories of her because we have of you.

Lorie, Helen and Michael Ward

To All the staff: Thank you for helping me learn my letters, sounds and numbers and thank you very much for my picture and book. All of you at my nursery are very special teachers. I wanted you to know what fun it was being at your nursery. How fast the time goes. Thank you for helping me to learn all that I know. I will always remember you all through the years that I grow. I will miss you all being my teachers. I know the reason for feeling so sod because now we have to say goodbye.

11th June 2012-20th July 2016-07-20 You’ve looked after Orla Cait for 4 years and almost 6 weeks ! In that time you’ve become part of the family, alongside the friends she has made. Thank you for all the memories you’ve given her, for all the fun you’ve helped her have and for each time you’ve taught her something new. We really appreciate everything you’ve done for Orla and were all going to miss you

Helen, Sean and Orla

I can’t thank you enough for all the time and effort you put in with Rhys. You have helped bring him up to be the lovely little boy that he is and I will always be grateful for that. I know that had I not moved him to receive his education from you, he would not have achieved so much – you should all feel proud! I will never forget everything you have done!
